Title: Automatic thread cutter of sewing machine
Inventor: UCHIDA MAKOTO
IPC: D05B65/06
Filed: 1999-03-26
Granted: 2001-06-07
Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to significantly shorten the remaining length of cut looper thread end part and to improve the efficiency of sewing of a simple remodeling of an existing automatic thread cutter without requiring any special structures. This automatic thread cutter of this invention has a first air cylinder device 38 and a second air cylinder device 40. The first air cylinder device 38 can restrict the length of the needle of a movable knife 9 having a thread guard 9A moving toward its course of vertical movement at the same time as or just after the start of sewing with the cut end of a cut loop thread being clasped between the movable scalpel 9 and a thread nipper 12. The second air cylinder device 40 can hold a fixed scalpel 11 and the thread nipper 12 at fixed positions. The nipping of the end of the looper thread by the movable knife 9 and the thread nipper 12 is released by allowing the movable knife 9 to protrude by the length restricted by the first air cylinder device 38 at the start of sewing.

Title: Sensing apparatus and method for reading multi-leveled memory cell data
Inventor: YANG NIAN-JAU
IPC: G11C7/00
Filed: 1999-05-18
Granted: 2001-10-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to the sensing apparatus and method for reading multi-leveled memory cell data. For a reading circuit of multi-bit memory cell in a memory array, the memory cell has a gate voltage threshold within one set of the range among the first, the second, the third and the fourth predetermined voltage thresholds. The voltage threshold individually corresponds to one of four states for two bits stored in the memory cell. The reading circuit contains a circuit that provides a gate voltage for multi-bit memory cell in one reading cycle. At the first reading time of the reading cycle, this gate voltage has the first voltage level that is in between the second and the third predetermined voltage thresholds. At the second reading time of the reading cycle, this gate voltage has the second voltage level that is in between the third and the fourth predetermined voltage thresholds. A sensing circuit is connected with multi-bit memory cells such that it compares the current from multi-bit memory cells with the first reference current as well as the second reference current, and the first output value is generated during the first reading time. The first output value is the first logic state if the current from the cell is higher than the first reference current. The first output value is the second logic state if the current from the cell is lower than the first reference current, and the second output value is generated during the second reading time. The second output value is the first logic state if the current from the cell is lower than the second reference current and is higher than the first reference current. The second output value is the second logic state if the current from the cell is higher than the first reference current and is lower than the second reference current.

Title: Semiconductor burn-in bias monitor
Inventor: CHEN TZUNG-REN
IPC: G11C11/00
Filed: 1999-08-11
Granted: 2001-06-16
Abstract: In order to accelerate the burn-in failure for the early dead products, semiconductor burn-in generally uses voltage higher than normal application. But, it is easy to have noise generation or problem of inaccurate burn-in bias during the burn-in process. The present invention is to provide a method for monitoring the history of burn-in bias so as to monitor the effectiveness of burn-in. Erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM) can be used to provide the application of this purpose and other devices also can be used for this purpose. EPROM together with other semiconductor products to be burned-in are undergone the burn-in process such that the displacement mechanism of threshold voltage for EPROM can be used to observe the magnitude of threshold voltage displacement and represent the effectiveness of burn-in. The principle of this mechanism is described in the following. The gate bias will induce surface electrons of base material. These electrons are accelerated by drain. When electrons overcomes the energy barrier of gate oxide material, electron will be trapped into poly silicon gate so as to cause an extra bias on the gate and make the threshold voltage displace. During a constant period, displacement of threshold voltage is measured, in which the measured value is in proportion to the added voltage value. The trapped electrons can be released to base material by using ultra violet (UV) light. Because electron can gains energy from UV light to overcome the energy barrier of gate oxide material, therefore, EPROM can be repeatedly used.

Title: Photo response semiconductor switch having short circuit load protection
Inventor: TOMII KAZUSHI
IPC: H03K3/356
Filed: 2000-09-22
Granted: 2001-10-01
Abstract: A kind of improved photo response semiconductor switch having short circuit load protection can effectively terminate a load overcurrent. The switch contains an output transistor, which is triggered by an optoelectronic device to conduct with a load and a power source. Another overcurrent sensor provides an overcurrent signal that monitors the overcurrent condition in the load. A shunt transistor connects across the optoelectronic device after connecting in series with a current-limited resistor so as to define the shunt route of the current flow that flows from the optoelectronic device, passes through the current limit resistor and leaves from the output transistor. A latch circuit uses the startup of the optoelectronic device to provide a terminating signal when the overcurrent signal is received. The terminating signal triggers and conducts the shunt transistor so as to make current flow through shunt route from the optoelectronic device. In this way, the output transistor is closed so as to terminate this overcurrent. When the shunt transistor conducts, the current-limited resistor is connected in series with the shunt transistor so as to limit the current that flows from the optoelectronic device. From this, a replenishing voltage is provided from the optoelectronic device to the latch circuit. Thus, the latch circuit is continuously provided to the disconnection circuit for assuring the termination of the overcurrent after it is switched on.
